Anything that is decent, anything that is present, a

calm and a cook and more singularly still a shelter,

all these show the need of clamor.

Anything
Decent that’s present pink
Or a rumor about the trees anything
More singularly still this
Shelter calm or an accustomed
Cold not firsthand not
That I’ve forgotten you these
Show and made tells
Still make do with
What they have with clamor with
Reason I don’t know with
Whatever sticks or goes with
What it takes
It takes and eventually it needs
